Chapter 211 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Niamh smiled elegantly. “I wonder what’s the matter you two want me to help with?”

“Look over there.” Eloise pointed not far away, her eyes suddenly looking sad. “My daughter is dead and I know that I can’t make up for this regret in my life. Only by doing this can I remedy a bit of this regret.”

“We know that this request is very selfish and a bit overwhelming. If you’re unwilling, Miss Vera, we won’t force it.” Sean’s tone was gentle while his eyes were filled with pleading.

Niamh looked at the photo studio not far away and smiled.

It turned out that they wanted to borrow her face for a family portrait.

Felipe was right. Sometimes the apology may not be done out of sincerity. They just hoped that they would feel better in their hearts, nothing more.

They would be better off after taking a family portrait, but what about her?

Niamh chuckled. She closed her eyes and could still clearly see the scenes of Eloise and Sean treating her coldly back then.

She had given enough during this time.

“I’m sorry, I don’t think I can agree.” Niamh refused. “I don’t want to be regarded as Niamh’s substitute. She had such a sad life and I don’t want to repeat it at all, nor do I want to have anything to do with her.”

Eloise and Sean’s hearts sank as feelings of emptiness invaded their atria.

“Miss Vera, don’t get us wrong. We’re not treating you as a substitute for Niamh. It’s alright if you don’t agree. We did ask for too much.” Eloise hurriedly apologized. Although her eyes were filled with loneliness and sadness, she worked hard to give Niamh a smile.

“Miss Vera, you’ve helped us a lot during this time. It’s Sean and me who were too reckless.”

“Apologies, Miss Vera.” Sean also apologized.

“Miss Vera, you’re beautiful and outstanding. Mr. Waldburg also values you very much. I believe you won’t repeat the tragedy of my daughter. I sincerely wish you the best.”

Eloise looked at Niamh with gentle eyes. After saying this, her eyes became wet. She wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled again. “Let’s not delay Miss Vera. Sean, why don’t you send Miss Vera back?”

“No need to send me back. I’ll head back myself.” Niamh smiled and turned around decisively.

‘It turns out that I’m still unable to be completely hard-hearted. Just looking at their lonely and sad appearance makes my heart hurt.’

“Sean, let’s go. Let’s go to the detention center first. I have to ask Nevaeh about the whereabouts of Niamh’s ashes.”

Niamh had not gone far, so she could clearly hear Eloise’s words from behind her.

‘My ashes are gone?’

“Nevaeh Delgado! That woman is so vicious that she destroyed Niamh’s grave and stole her ashes. How could there be such a perverted person in this world?!”

Niamh’s pace slowed down involuntarily as her thoughts became a little messed up all of a sudden.

‘My grave was destroyed by Nevaeh? My ‘ashes’ were also stolen by her?’

As she pondered, the scene of Kendrick taking her to the cemetery suddenly popped up in her mind.

He had brought her to a particular grave, only to find that the grave was destroyed. Kendrick’s eyes had been red then as he looked for something amongst the shattered ruins almost devilishly.

‘Could it be that he was looking for my ashes?

‘Could it be that it was actually my grave?’

When she came to this conclusion, Niamh’s heart was torn violently.

Honk, honk!

The piercing sound of brakes whizzed to her ears.

Only then did Niamh regain her senses and found that she had somehow walked into the middle of the road in a daze.

In the moment of life and death, a pair of strong arms had hugged her tightly and brought her to safety.

“Miss Vera, are you okay?” Sean’s worried voice sounded above her head.

Eloise had also hurried over, her eyes filled with anxiety. “Miss Vera, why did you suddenly run out onto the road? It’s so dangerous! Are you okay?”

Hearing this, Niamh finally came back to her senses completely. She shook her head and said, “I was thinking about something just now. Thank you, I’ll be leaving now.”

Eloise and Sean felt that Niamh was behaving a bit weirdly and were a little worried, but Niamh had quickly gotten on a taxi by the side of the road.

She got off when the car arrived at the building of Waldburg Corporation. While on the way, Niamh had still been thinking about what she heard before.

Could it be?

‘The grave that Kendrick brought me to the last time definitely has nothing to do with me.

‘He hates me so much. Why would he give me a grave, let alone be so anxious as to have gone crazy when he couldn’t find my ashes?’ Niamh thought to herself silently while walking toward the doors.

As soon as she was about to step in, a strong smell of perfume suddenly wafted over. Niamh’s shoulder was then hit hard.

“What’s the matter with you? Do you walk without looking at what’s in front of you?” A woman’s dissatisfied voice sounded domineering.

Niamh raised her eyes and saw a bright, enthralling face.

The woman in front of her was dressed sexily and had delicate makeup on. Her taro purple hair reached to her waist in waves.

From a distance, she had superb manners and was a beautiful person.

However, after taking a closer look, she was a bit tackier while the perfume on her body was too strong.

Moreover, her eyes were filled with unparalleled arrogance and were extremely unfriendly.

Niamh calmly opened her mouth. “Lady, you ran into me.”

“If you hadn’t stood in front of me, why would I have bumped into you?” The woman looked at Niamh arrogantly, then folded her arms before smiling. “Are you an employee of Waldburg Corporation? Do you know who I am? I’m one of the most important women in Mr. Waldburg’s life. Can you afford to offend me? Hmph!”

The woman glared at Niamh pretentiously and turned around roughly as soon as she was done talking.

One of the most important women in Kendrick’s life…?

Niamh smiled at that arrogant view of her back. She was too lazy to argue and went toward the VIP elevator on the side.

After exiting the elevator, she walked straight to Kendrick’s office. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Kendrick sitting against the light at his desk while reviewing documents.

The corners of his eyebrows were softened by the warm sun. It took off the cold and sharp edge he usually had in front of others, giving him a little more of the rare warmth. The rarely worn white shirt also added a little sunshine to his cold temperament.

Thinking of her plan, Niamh turned around and entered the pantry to make a cup of coffee for Kendrick.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the door of the pantry, she smelled the pungent perfume again. In the next second, the arrogant woman ran into her once more.

Plop!

The coffee cup in Niamh’s hand was knocked off.

“Ah! My limited-edition cashmere jacket!” The woman screamed angrily. Raising her eyes to see Niamh, she got even angrier. “It’s you again!”

She glanced at the overturned coffee cup angrily. “Just you wait. I’ll have Mr. Waldburg fire you, you blind secretary!”

Secretary?

Niamh took a look at what she was wearing. Had she worn too professional-looking clothes today?

Kendrick seemed to have heard the noise just then. He went over, his worldly temperament stringing along his strong aura.

When the woman turned around and saw Kendrick, she greeted him happily like a bee that had seen a flower. “Cousin Kendrick!” she called out in a soft tone. “Cousin Kendrick, I missed you so much, did you know? As soon as I was done with my thesis, I flew over to come look for you!”

The woman finished her words delicately, then stared at Niamh who was not far away.

“But I didn’t expect to meet such a blind employee as soon as I got here. She not only ran into me twice, but she also dirtied my clothes. She didn’t even apologize to me. It makes me so annoyed to look at her. You should fire her immediately!”
